About Me

I'm a second generation member of American Frame, the leading on-line source for custom picture framing supplies and fine art printing services. I literally learned custom framing from the ground up, working with my dad at his shop when I was 15 (my first job was filing the ends of metal frames in the days before precision saws!), then on and off through my college years. I "officially"' entered the family business in 1991 to launch our Volume Framing Division and the Alliance Program. My current focus includes volume services along with new product and service development, pricing, and consumer education using the AmericanFrame Blogs.
